Over the past 12 years, we've given over 3,000,000 lessons to happy customers around the world.
and I am realy looking forward to having a teacher that will first help me just get started.. Then help me lean to play the songs that made me want to lean how to play the Banjo.. and has me exited for the next lesson."
when I’m playing the banjo with Jared.
I crave clear criticism
and he gives me the specifics
so I can truly improve.
Jared has all the qualities

for me as a student is his enthusiasm and gentle humor.
Highly recommend.
